This video is over an hour long, but I found this comment within the first couple of minutes. So obviously I kept watching until he came up. It was rather sneaky putting him last. He was one of those phenomena that we'll never see again.
In the early 2000's was an assistant teacher at J.S. 221 in Queens NY. The school is named after Louis Armstrong. Every morning the kids would play one of his songs over the PA system. It was so sweet! I wonder if they still do?
At Carney was pretty much in character as Ed Norton here, and he was definitely proud of that as his most famous role But he also felt constrained by it, and he resented the fact that while he was on Gleason's show, Gleason never really gave him the opportunity to expand and show more of what he could do. Only in his later years was the fulll range of his genius truly shown.
I don't know. From what I remember about the Jackie Gleason show, Art Carney was clearly a gifted comedic actor with as much or more range than Jackie Gleason.
@@scook5599 Yes, he was, and that was what bothered him -- he was confined to Gleason's "Second Banana" status as Norton, and he wanted the opportunity to shine more brightly. That episode they refer to here, where Gleason was injured and Carney had to take over, was especially painful to him -- he came in with a script that would have shown the range and depth of his skills (ironically, still in the Ed Norton character, but giving it more depth, humanity, and pathos), and Gleason replaced it with a series of sketches that weren't really funny and didn't give him much of a chance to really look good. You can see his expression here when that episode is brought up -- it's still painful for him, and I think it shows. The general consensus, even among Gleason's admirers, is that this was not Jackie's finest moment by a long shot.
Jimmy Stewart's "Take Her, She's Mine" is a forgotten gem co-starring Billy Mumy (William, from "Lost in Space"). Also, there was no show two weeks after this, in honored memory of President Kennedy, who was assassinated ten days after this show.
Anyone notice the severe change in our culture since then, and not for the better? No tats, no nose rings, the women and men dressed formally, the men stand in the presence of women, just a nice quiet game show that is wonderful in its simplicity. I long for these times. I am repulsed by today's culture.
In the etiquette of that time, women panelists did not generally stand as the mystery guest said goodbye. However, I thought it was tremendously respectful -- appropriately -- that both Arlene and Dorothy did rise to shake the hand of Eleanor Roosevelt.
I don't know what it is but these panelists cannot get he first names of the two main male Honeymooners actors right. Al Carney and Jimmy Gleason, Jesus!

Art Carney was severely wounded in WWII during the Normandy invasion. God bless him😊
Wow! I didn't know that information! He's a good actor and there would be no Honeymooners without him.
I didn't know that. Excellent actor as well.
Louis Armstrong - what a musician. Asked to just sing, but he delivers a master work in importu class. RIP Sir, much missed.

Thank you jimmy Stewart for your service and the many hours of entertainment that you gave all of us
Wonderful entertainment, wonderful memories. Thank you for posting this wonderful segment
😅
What a time capsule of treasured talent from the past.
Always a joy to watch this show. So thankful for the reruns to remember these beautiful people. 😊
This is a fabulous compilation! Thank you.
In the early 2000's was an assistant teacher at J.S. 221 in Queens NY.
The school is named after Louis Armstrong.
Every morning the kids would play one of his songs over the PA system.
It was so sweet!
I wonder if they still do?
If they played "It's A Wonderful World"... That would be great.
What beautiful people were on that show, all of them stars in their own way.
Jackie Gleason eventually did do serious acting, and he was outstanding.
Paul Newman was a dashingly handsome superb actor and noble philanthropist❤
Agree he was very good looking ✨️🇸🇪
Absolutely wonderful!
Mrs. Roosevelt had a wonderful smile.
Thank you for this treasure trove of golden memories from our more civilised past.
When Carney laid out he'd only been in ONE movie... little did he know he would later win an Academy Award.
What a beautiful, smart and classy lady Arlene Francis was. Adore her
Paul Newman was SO handsome!!!♥️♥️♥️👍

@@jazzmanchgo Thank you for these insights!

Insights? 😅
He's pulling 'facts' out of his, um... hindquarters.
☝️😆👍

Stop with all your LIES!
Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman were si humble. I loved how they looked at each other, that they were so much in love.
Jimmy Stewart's "Take Her, She's Mine" is a forgotten gem co-starring Billy Mumy (William, from "Lost in Space"). Also, there was no show two weeks after this, in honored memory of President Kennedy, who was assassinated ten days after this show.

I couldn't agree with you more.
Of course ....although, the whistling of men when an attractive woman appears...
@@AlBurcin Oh please, that one act doesn't negate all the positive aspects of the 50's and 60's.
@@fasteddie9867you're right
@@AlBurcin Thanks for being man enough to admit I was right. Happy Columbus day!
Good Selection
Art Carney God bless. I was born 4 years after this show aired😂😂
at 31:24 mr cerf was already suspicious but look at his smirk at this yes and the specific question 4 Q's later saying he knew who guest was
big fan of some of these guests
29:00 I almost forgot how much john daly didn't enjoy Hal block
Al Carney...Jimmy Gleason!
Al Carney! Please!
Gleason wasn't even 40?!
That surprised me, too. He looked like he was in his mid-40s.
This was in 1953????
He was 37 at the time. He was born in 1916.

I've thought for many years that this show was rigged, at least when it came to the celebrity guests.
Unfortunately, the United Nations has turned into a corrupt and hateful organization that should be disbanded.
It's a possibility. The $64,000 Question was certainly rigged and was eventually found out.
